__** 1.U.S. extradites Bosnian Serb suspected of genocide **__ SARAJEVO (Reuters) Jan 20. 2010 In January, a 45-year old ex-Bosnian commander named Nedjo Ikonic was arrested on an international arrest warrant. He is said to have controlled roads going in and out of the eastern town of Srebrenica. The Bosnian Serb forces, which lkonic was working with killed over 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys. The Bosnian Genocide was the worst genocide in Europe since world war II. Most of these men and children were killed trying to escape through the woods by being shot or arrested. The Serb Republic interior ministry during the Bosnian war in 1992-95 took about 100,000 lives. Although lkonic will be tried for his crimes, his General, Ratko Mladic, is still on the run after being indicted for 14 years. Their wartime leader, Radovan Karadzic,is being tried in March but still denies all 11 counts of war crimes during the Bosnian war including the Srebrenica Genocide.

My reaction to this event is that I am happy he was caught and is being tried for his crimes. I also hope that every person that was part of a genocide or mass murder is or was punished for their wrong-doings. "You do the crime, you pay the time." I hope that Karadzic is punished for his crimes and for denying that this genocide ever happened.

I agree on your opinion, I think that if you do something worth punishment, you deserve the punishment. Especially since it was a genocide, I'm very happy that he was caught. -emilyl.

I agree with Ridge. I feel that people who commit crimes need to be punished for their wrong doings. Also I feel that they should get additional punishment for denying the crimes. Also catching this guy can give some relief to the people who may be nervous about him being free.
